CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY ANNOUNCES HEALTHY PET CLINIC

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (August 9, 2021) The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) will hold a low-cost Healthy Pet Clinic for the public. This clinic will be held Saturday, August 21st at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 410 North Main Street in Jamestown from 10am until 1pm. No appointments will be necessary. The clinic will operate on a first come, first served basis, and is for healthy dogs and cats only.

CCHS Executive Director Kellie Roberts says “We are very happy to be able to hold this Healthy Pet Clinic as we understand there is a definite need in the community for these basic veterinary services. These are pets who otherwise may not receive basic health care. This will be the only Healthy Pet Clinic of 2021.”

The low-cost Healthy Pet Clinic is a one stop wellness shop, with participants having their visit with local veterinarian Dr. Katie Ball.  In addition to a basic examination and core vaccinations, deworming and other wellness services will be provided as needed and there will be the option to purchase flea and tick products at special CCHS pricing, including Seresto collars, Advantage II for cats, and K9 Advantix II.

CCHS Community Relations Director Brian Papalia thanked Father Luke Fodor, Kim Mann, and the parishioners at St. Luke’s for their help, and the use of the church’s undercroft saying “St. Luke’s is so accommodating to the community, whether you are planning a public or private event, I would recommend working with them.  We would also like to extend our thanks to the Jessie Smith Darrah Fund for the funding that makes these clinics possible for our friends and neighbors.  We are also very thankful to Media One Radio Group and Happy Hounds Hotel and Day Spa for their support of the Healthy Pet Clinic.”

Participants should come prepared with dogs properly leashed and cats in carriers.  Cash and credit cards will be accepted. Please bring any previous rabies vaccination certificates and any veterinarian records from the past year, if available. A small co-pay will be requested for the basic services, although receiving care is not based on one’s ability to pay. Other services, including heartworm, Lyme disease, and feline leukemia testing will be available at a low cost.

Be sure to bring your pet to the Chautauqua County Humane Society’s Healthy Pet Clinic from 10am to 1pm, Saturday, August 21st at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 410 North Main Street in Jamestown. More at Chqhumane.org.
